Commentary
There are three portfolios being updated this month, Dynamic Japan 3-Month, Dynamic UK Blended and Dynamic World ex-UK. All three did brilliantly with Japan up 13.59% over 3 months, UK Blended up 18.51% and World ex-UK up 22.41% both over 6 months.
Starting with Japan, whilst it has taken a bit of a breather over the past month tracking a selloff on Wall Street, the Dynamic Japan 3-month figure is impressive. It returned over 11x the index in just 3 months. The large cap value style fund from Nomura remains the top performer and stays for the next period.
The long-term performance of this portfolio is even more impressive, up more than 405% since inception in 2000, which is more than 5x the index.
Turning to Dynamic UK Blended, the FTSE reached new record highs this month and overall it’s been a strong 6 months for this portfolio, which is up over 18.5% compared to the FTSE 100’s 13.38%.
This Dynamic Portfolio has returned over 1706% since inception in 2000 vs the FTSE 100 which has returned just over 205% over the same period. That’s over 8x the index.
For the 6 months ahead, we have a new selection of 3 funds.
Finally Dynamic World ex-UK which was made up of 3 funds in America, Japan and Asia had a storming 6 months returning 22.41% compared to the FTSE World ex-UK up 17.36%.
Since launch this portfolio is up nearly double that of the index.
Looking ahead to the next 6 months the Japan fund stays, we have a different US fund but interestingly a UK small cap fund has appeared in the list.

Review
*A measure of the size and frequency of short-term changes in the value of an investment.
**Monthly Value at Risk (VaR). A VaR of 6% means that in 19 months out of 20 you should not, on average, expect a fall in the capital value of more than 6% in any one month. The VaR of a typical UK stock market fund is 6%, for reference.
